Tony-

The testing we initially did was on a local dragstip w/ a '98 coupe that belonged to a local gentleman who also drove the vehicle daily in his commute to work.

Many have claimed the 2-series weakness issue, but we have proven otherwise and we do not wish to engage in debate again as to reasons why. That has already been covered here many times before. :)

I can't answer your question of "if you can perform the modifications yourself, to a 2-series diff. to make them durable", since I don't know your level of understanding of these units, nor do I know your mechanical abilities.
Cryogenic treatment of the metal components makes them much stronger w/out tempering them, which just makes them brittle.

We do not wish to get into "how" we build them, as those method's are proprietary, so we'll just let our product's speak for themselves. :)

Thanks for the input! :seeya

Understood, but you do sell the spacer to those who are too far to have your shop do the work. My questions is this, " Does the carrier itself get treated by your shop? Given a respectable shop who are professionals at the gaer swaps do you feel it will be fine to simply add a spacer and 3.42s into a series 2, but without the cryo treatment?

I have a 3:15 rear about to come out. I would like $550.00, and your 2:72s + shipping. You can use the 3:15s in your vette. or use them as a core. I will take $700.00 + shipping with out your 2:72s. :cheers: :yesnod: :yesnod: :seeya

Tony-
The components/methods used by DTE to build our 2-series differentials to HP level are installed in-house only and not available from us as individual parts, sorry. The exception is the output shaft, gear set and bearing kit, which is on our website.

In answer to your question, yes.. ALL of the differential components get treated just the same.

Would we recommend not treating otherwise for high HP applications? No....
HTH's :) :seeya
Have a great day!

DTE
